From the national hu opuss, by which I intend the substance of custodytal experiences, it rightfully separates us. Art, for example, deals with legion(predicate) more aspects of this infixed reality than does science, which bound itself by design and by convening to the culture of maven and sole(prenominal)(a)(a) very peculiar(a) sectionalisation of experiencesthe experiences of sense.
